Differential to axle gasket

Post by vee12jag »

Hi guys,
I’m ready to put my differential unit back into the axle. I have a new paper gasket. Do you recommend gasket sealant or not?
Also what’s the torque setting for the diff to axle case nuts?
Thanks
Mark

Lightly grease the gasket before fitting.

No need for gasket goo.

Tighten diagonally slowly and steady to 20lb ft.
